Has your dog started eating
less in the morning? Is your cat drinking more water or urinating more
frequently? These may be subtle changes, but they can be early warning signs of kidney
disease in pets. Often, signs of kidney disease are not
detected until 2/3 of kidney function is dysfunctional. Annual vet exams are
critical for catching kidney
disease early. While there is no cure, it can be well-managed with
natural supplements and diet changes that can help your pet feel better. Our
beautiful 13 year old Ariel was fine one day and then really sick with kidney
disease the next day. Looking back the signs were ever so subtle (eating a
little less for breakfast) and then one day she showed all the signs. Kidney
disease is more common in senior cats than in dogs but cats often
respond much better, especially if kidney disease is caught early on.
